Death & Dying
Acts 20:1: Paul... departed for to go into Macedonia
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Death & Dying
Beyond his persecutors' sight
The1 apostle prudently withdraws,
Not by an hasty shameful flight
Deserting his Redeemer's cause,
But sent on other souls to call
And Christ proclaim the Lord of all.
